  • Publication number: 20230361661
    Abstract: A field magnet manufacturing method including reheating and softening a bonded magnet after thermal curing; and press-fitting the softened bonded magnet into a case from an opening on one side of the case. The case has a cylindrical portion and a lid portion coupled to another side of the cylindrical portion. The cylindrical portion has a fixing portion for the bonded magnet. At least the fixing portion is formed of a magnetic material. The press-fitting includes feeding the bonded magnet relatively into the cylindrical portion while allowing a relative posture variation between the bonded magnet and the case. This makes it possible to stably feed even the softened bonded magnet into the case, and the inner surface of the bonded magnet has a similar accuracy to that of the inner surface of the case.

  • Publication number: 20230317370
    Abstract: A field magnet manufacturing method where a bonded magnet's inner surface press-fitted in a yoke has a certain accuracy irrespective of the accuracy of the yoke's outer circumferential surface. A cylindrical bonded magnet from binding magnet particles with a thermosetting resin is fixed in a tubular yoke of magnetic material. The method includes reheating and softening the bonded magnet after thermal curing; and press-fitting in the bonded magnet after the softening step from a tapered portion on one end side of the yoke to press the bonded magnet's outer circumferential surface against the yoke's inner surface. The press-fitting includes feeding the bonded magnet relatively into the yoke while allowing a relative posture variation between the bonded magnet and the yoke so the bonded magnet's inner surface to be remolded into a shape along the inner surface of the yoke exhibits almost the same accuracy as the yoke's inner surface.
